Daily Fantasy Basketball Game Scripts to Target on 3/15/17

Eric Bledsoe, PG, Phoenix Suns

FanDuel Price: $8,000

Eric Bledsoe has struggled recently, but an advantageous matchup and game script could help him get back to his usual dominant self.

The Phoenix Suns take on the Sacramento Kings in what has the second-highest over/under on the slate (221.5 points). Phoenix has an implied team total of 113.5 points, which is the second-highest on the slate and six points higher than their season average.

Bledsoe has thrived in up-tempo games this season, as evidenced by his splits. When Phoenix has played in with an implied team total of at least 112 points, he has averaged 40.8 FanDuel points, up from 33.8 in all other games. That number has climbed even further when he has played in with an over/under above 220 points (41.5 FanDuel points).

While the matchup against Sacramento doesn't jump off the page in terms of fantasy points allowed to point guards, they do rank 25th in defensive efficiency and starting point guard Darren Collison ranks 66th among point guards in defensive real plus-minus.

It's certainly worth noting that Bledsoe has acknowledged he is playing through pain at the moment, making him nothing more than a tournament play given his recent performance. However, with two days off and the good spot he's in tonight, he's worth a look in that format.
